Something I’ve just noticed (I’ve not needed to look at this page before). This is on both my development site here (a backup of what’s on the server), as well as the live site. Right now I’m trying to see how I can fix this locally.

If I go to Extensions>Templates>Templates, the page is broken.

If I look at the source, there is no header, just the content for that specific page.

There is nothing before this, and after the code for the list of templates, nothing else. It’s just literally the content of the page. No html tag, no header, not even an enclosing body.

I have tried a few things - fixes suggested for issues like this I have found include emptying caches (both Joomla and Browser), re-installing the template (which is hard as I can’t swap the admin template for something else as the page to do this is the broken one - I used the Extension>Manage>Manage menu). I have also tried overwriting the Joomla installation with a new download, removing and re-installing the Isis template (though both admin templates seem affected).

I’ve tried using various debug settings, hoping errors get written to the log when this page is accessed, but no luck there. No errors on the page, no errors in the logs. It’s almost as if the main template is being ignored.

Tried Database fix - again, no change.

Any other ideas what to look for? Maybe something in the database that needs tweaking? Thanks.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Is it just that page, or the whole administrator back-end? I'd have expected if it was misbehaving, it would be the entire administrator side, not just a particular screen/option.

Even in the broken screen, near the top of the left side, there is a drop down box, you can choose "site" or "administrator" which will list the admin templates (there should be at least two listed).

Choose "Administrator" and it should give you two choices - ISIS or the other one.

If you can't do it from that screen, go into PHPMyAdmin and choose the other template there. It should be in the _templates table (or similar); set the value to "0" for ISIS and change it to "1" for the other, (this is a temporary fix to see if the other template loads more correctly) and see if the other template loads properly. Save the database settings, return to the site and refresh.

Does it do the same thing in other browsers, other devices, other computers?

Did you do any updates recently prior to this occurring?

Can you extract from a clean copy of the Joomla download package, only the "ISIS" template folder and upload that (to refresh the files).?

You said you tried to reinstall Joomla with a fresh set of files, but did you do this through the JOomla update screen(there is a method there to reinstall Joomla) or did you just overwrite all the system files from the download package?
